I love the super simple direction of the Square App home page. It’s deceptively simple in that there’s one thing they want you to do, signup. But it’s done with a slideshow that loads in different signup options with each type of product and it’s a slick way to deliver it. There’s so few elements here yet so much visual depth, superb design and superb call to action to boot.
4 CSS Features That Changed Everything
Over the past five years, a handful of new CSS features have completely reshaped how we build for the web. According to the 2025 State of CSS Survey, these are the true game-changers.
This site is obviously inspired by Apple, especially if you compare the iPad features page (http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/) to The Square Reader page (https://squareup.com/square). I think this is smart since Square relies on a device like the iPad, and the visual connection allows them to co-opt some of Apple’s mojo.
